St. Vincent dePaul

The St. Vincent de Paul Society Church of the Visitation Conference is part of the Ocean County St. Vincent de Paul District Council. The committee meets twice a month.

On receipt of a voice mail message on the rectory phone line (option 4) two members make a home visit within 24 hours of the request in order to determine the needs. Funds for the needy in our area come from the poor boxes located at the entrances of the main church and the chapel. In addition there are St. Vincent de Paul Memorial envelopes in Silverton and Weatherhead and Young Funeral Parlors. A cash collection is taken up for the Thanksgiving Day baskets.

The Thrift Shop, open on Monday through Saturday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, sells clothes and household items at bare bottom prices. Manned by volunteers the shop adds to the funds available to the Committee to pay utility bills, rents and issue food vouchers. Clean clothing and useful household items are gratefully received.
